Clive Armstrong

So sorry to hear the sad news. Clive was a gentleman and much loved. I know you were very close to him Melanie and I hope that your many happy memories will sustain you and all the family in the years ahead. Thinking of you all at this time.

Mel, Kate, and family, my deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad and Grandad. Thinking of you all at this sad time and sending caring thoughts your way.

My sincere condolences to Melanie, Warwick and Russell on the death of your much loved dad Clive.
I have many happy memories of Valerie and Clive . He will be sadly missed.

May Clive rest in peace.

Clive Armstrong was a gentleman, cut from a rare cloth

After one big win on the horses, 1969?, himself and my father decided to go to Italy on a foreign holiday. My old man got sunburned, never having seen the sun before. He got a passing lady, my mother, to put some cream on his back. Married two years later.

He turned up for a dinner at our house when I was a boy carrying two boxes of Topps chewing gum Star Wars trading cards. One red. One blue.
Maybe the greatest present I ever got.

He was old school class the whole way. He was related to Neil Armstrong, but never told people that. He only told me after my father passed.

He's with Valerie again, but the world is a lesser place for his passing.

God speed, Clive. I'll miss you. x

Deepest sympathy to the Armstrong family on the sad passing of Clive.I have many happy memories of Clive as musical director of Nas Na Ri Singers.May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Mel, Russell and Warwick and all the family on the passing of your lovely Dad. I know he was the light of your lives and you will miss him dreadfully . May he rest in Peace .

We are so sorry to hear of Clive's passing. Such a lovely man.
He was a super choir master in St Brigid's and All Saints. And great company over tea in the Parish Centre, or indeed in the Lep! Bless him.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Clive. He was a gentleman, always smiling and a lovely friend to our Dad, Noel. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your Dad Clive. I remember him from Abbey as my Dad Trevor was in the choir and was friendly with Clive (poker games in our house). Clive was a lovely gentleman and as everyone has said very generous with his time. So much so he kindly played the organ in Abbey in 2005 for my Dad's funeral I will always remember him for that. Also remembering your Mum Valerie they'll be together again.

I am so sorry to read of Clive's passing. As a barman in the Lep it was always a pleasure to serve Clive. He was a gentleman and we had many an enjoyable conversation. May he rest in peace. I am sorry I missed his funeral. My sincere sympathies to his family.

My sincere condolences to you Russell and all your family on the sad passing of your lovely dad. What a gentleman.!Thinking of you all at this difficult time

Melanie Warwick and Russell our sincere heartfelt condolences to you all the service today in St Patrick’s Cathedral was just exquisite I thought to myself what a credit the 3 of you are to Clive and of course Valerie I have no doubt they were together again today beaming with pride

Our condolences to you Melanie and your family on the passing of your father, may he rest in peace.

I’m so sad to hear that Clive has died. First time I ever heard The Entertainer by Scot Joplin played on the Abbey organ. He was a treasure. Choir practices were a balance of hard work and riotous laughter. All my love to you at this time.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Clive’s passing. I have many fond memories of Clive teaching me how to play piano and listening to him play such beautiful music at ceremonies over the years. My deepest sympathy to Russell, Melanie and Warwick and Clive’s wider family and friends.

Deepest condolences to you Melanie and all your family on the passing of your dear Dad.

So very sorry to learn that Clive had passed away. He was a loving and proud dad of Melanie, Warwick and Russell.
We enjoyed Clive’s company during the years since Warwick and Amy met and married and have very fond memories of him.
May he now Rest In Peace.

Warwick, deepest sympathy to you, Melanie, Russell and all your families on the death of your Dad. When I was a Curate in Glenageary, the organist didn't turn up one evening and I bravely (or stupidly!) said that we would sing unaccompanied. Your Dad was in the congregation and after the first disastrous effort, he came up to me during the service, asked for the key to the organ console and rescued us! A talented and kind man. Thinking of you all and praying for strength for you. We are sorry that we cannot be with you at the funeral.

I send my condolences to Clive's family and Olive on his death. He was a lovely gentleman and we were lucky in Nas na Ri singers to have him as our Musical Director for some years

Melanie, Warwick and Russell we are so saddened at your Dad's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy at this difficult time. You have been Clive's pride and joy and his guiding light since the passing of your dear Mother, Valerie.
I met Clive in Abbey Presbyterian Church in 1964, he was Best Man at our wedding in 1970 and we were best friends ever since then.
In the Strollers, Clef Club, Nas na Rí and the many gigs we did together. Clive gave generously of his talents and will be sorely missed.
He is with his maker now at rest, reaping the rewards of a life well spent.

It is with great regret and sadness that we hear of Clive's passing. Our very sincere condolences to Melanie, Warwick and Russell.

So many great memories of living beside Valerie and Clive in Pine Valley- never a dull moment -
A particular memory is Christmas Eve— after all the parents had finished their Santa preparations— we all went to Armstrongs—- we all went in with the same mantra ( every year ) won’t be staying long - lots of work to do—-
However after Valerie served us a lovely supper and Clive dispensed drinks — nobody seemed to have the same urgency about their chores —Great times — Christmas Eve was never quite as much fun since.
Have thoughts when hopefully your Mum and Dad meet up — Valerie will say with her great smile — What kept you Clive —Hope you wiped your feet . Love Valerie and Eddie.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Clive's family. I am very saddened to hear of Clive's passing. He was a most wonderful person, kind, generous gentleman who treated people with dignity. He was very good to me in my musical career and presented lots of wonderful opportunities in my path.

So sorry to hear of Clive's passing. I

We had many happy times making music together and putting on our Annual Concerts. Clive was a great musician, both pianist and organist

Dear Mel and family, I'm so sorry to her the sad news about your Dad. Thinking of you all and sending love. May Clive RIP with dear Valerie. God bless xxx

I knew Clive from the Guild of Youth in Glasnevin where he played the piano and coached us to sing numbers at our concerts. This led to cricket and hockey with Cremore and later Corinthinans, a holiday in Blackpool to cheer on Clive’s favourite team and a party in his home where Brenda and I met. Clive had style to go with his exceptional musical talent plus a sport car and was the image of Frank Sinatra. Sincere sympathy to all of Clive’s family on his passing.

A Kind Loving and Faithfull Gentleman Friend full of fun....for the past 22yrs..May your music be heard in Heaven...! My sincere Love & Sympathy to all the Family..and..also Thank you for all your kindness and love to Me.! Rest for your soul My beloved Friend Clive.! 💔

To all of the Armstrong Family,

My sincere condolences on the very sad passing of Clive. He was such a gentleman and wonderful musician. I will greatly miss singing with him on the Bass 2 line at Strollers. We had many happy and amusing times enjoying each other’s company in Music, Wine and Friendship.

May his kind and musical soul rest peacefully.

Melanie, Warwick and Russell so sorry to hear the very sad news of your Dad's passing. Have been friends for over 50 years since we moved in opposite Clive and Valerie in Pine Valley. Many happy memories from our weekly coffee mornings with Clive first in The Lep and more recently in The Goat. Sadly, as we are away, we will not be with you on Friday but will watch online. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Clive's years of service as Abbey Church Organist will always be remembered and appreciated.
